DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings center Darren Helm is out for tonight's game against Phoenix due to what the club said is a minor left wrist injury. Kris Newbury was recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL) and will make his Red Wings debut tonight.

Helm, who was having tests done on the wrist, is listed as day-to-day. He hurt the wrist during Saturday's game in Nashville but finished the game. He tried to skate this morning and thought he could play through it but wasn't able to.

Newbury, 27, has seven goals and 12 assists for the Griffins and is tied for the team lead in points (19) with Jeremy Williams. The scrappy, 5-10, 205-pound center leads the team with 95 penalty minutes.

Newbury has three goals and three assists in 44 career NHL games, all with Toronto.
